Sport Studies

About this course

Sport studies is a broad and interdisciplinary field that examines sport not just as physical activity but as a significant social, cultural, political, and economic phenomenon. It draws on sociology, psychology, history, and policy analysis to ask fundamental questions about why sport matters, who participates and on what terms, how sporting organisations and events are governed, and what role sport plays in national identity, community life, and commercial culture. Students who come to sport studies with a genuine curiosity about these larger questions will find it a rich and intellectually demanding area of enquiry. At the University of Stirling, this four-year full-time programme engages with the sociological and cultural dimensions of sport alongside questions of sports development, policy, and management. You will examine the historical development of sport as a modern institution
